The first deal has just taken place.
Moving out to Philadelphia are defenseman Brent Burns and forward Mikko Koivu. Coming back are defenseman Christian Ehrhoff, forwards Kris Versteeg and Steve Bernier, along with the 28th overall pick in the upcoming draft.
We liked both these players but money was a factor in dealing them. We coveted Ehrhoff and his offensive abilities, which have now made Dion Phaneuf expendable. Versteeg is a versatile forward who can play multiple positions and has done well given his salary in the sim. We believe Bernier can be a solid bottom-six guy for us and the pick allows us to add to our prospect stable.
